Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Swatches of fabric are small pieces of material that are used to show what different fabrics look and feel like.
- Artists can match colours and textures of fabrics to the colours and textures they see in the world around them.
- Artists can adapt designs as they continue planning and creating their artwork.
Common misconception
Once a design has been created, it cannot be adapted or changed.
Remind children that artists can change their ideas as they go, making changes to their design as they continue through the design and making process.
